Features: With the improvement of living standards, the "ghost" of hypertension is getting closer to people, and this is no exaggeration! In China, one out of every three households has a patient with hypertension, whose mortality rate ranks first among cardiovascular diseases. Each year, as many as 1.5 million people suffer from stroke due to complications of hypertension. This "ghost" indeed brings endless troubles and harm to people. To curb this "ghost," the key lies in taking up weapons for prevention and treatment. However, many people still lack awareness of the dangers of hypertension, especially because its early symptoms are not obvious, and by the time it develops, it is often too late to regret. Once hypertension is diagnosed, lifelong treatment is necessary. However, many patients cannot adhere to treatment or rely solely on medication, making it difficult to control blood pressure and the condition. Some patients even go to hospitals for treatment but lack understanding of basic treatment methods and commonly used medications, or are misled by others, resulting in wasted money, no improvement in their condition, and even worsening it. This book provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the causes, diagnosis, examinations, treatment, and prevention of hypertension, with a focus on elaborating on the clinical significance of various examinations, medication treatment, non-medication treatment, and preventive health measures. The language is easy to understand, and the content is both profound and accessible. For hypertensive patients, having this book is like having a health advisor by their side, making self-care a breeze. This book is also suitable for readers from all walks of life, clinical doctors at various levels, and students of medical schools for reference.
